Paper money of the USSR

Russian Paper Money | USSR period | 1934 serie

The treasury notes of 1934 came in two flavors: with the treasurer signatue and without. The signature was indeed quite disturbing. If the treasurer was declared "enemy of the state" all the banknotes with his signature were to be removed from circulation, which was quite a problem. Thus the signature was removed until 1992 (and then removed again in 1993).
